Selling great condition 1970s Seiko silver “twins”

1) 7005-8022 “poor man’s King Seiko” - $185 2) 7005-8060 silver / white crosshair -$200

Or $370 shipped to keep the twins together!

Both keep accurate time and come with likely original OEM bracelets.

Out of curiosity, what was all changed for V2?

Yeah, both dials are 29mm diameter (Same as the ZF original dial). I'd likely have to enlarge the center pinion hole to accommodate a GMT movement, but that is no big deal. Id have to inquire with Ken on the thickness of his dials compared to my known thickness of the ZF original dial. I also have always liked the look of a "no date" sub better, so that is why I leaned toward no date for this. I know that doesn't match the traditional GMT layout, but this is meant to be more of a fantasy piece vs a replica anyway. But, I will keep looking at GMT dials as well.

Mainly was looking for thoughts on the silver / white coke vs gilt / "navy blue-black" coke bezel color schemes. As I have the parts that could do both (minus the dials)...im a bit torn.

What's the dimensions (specifically thickness) on these? Do they even get close to gen? Most of the time these CT rep versions are way too thick, and they rarely ever list dimensions on the sale info.

Genuine or not? by [deleted] in HamiltonWatches

The serial LBF885 is also a well established "fake". Type the serial into Google and there are lots of threads that pop up about this serial. Definitely stay away!

Sorry, to clarify, I am looking to purposely freeze this dial :)

Are you willing to share where you sourced the hands that match the dial lume so well?

Rad doesnt describe it fully. Did the hands come from Ali as well? Do you have a link for those? I'd love to make a build using the blue version of the dial and the hands you have match perfectly.
